Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1812  Confidence and Battle Preparation

“Yes, Heavenly General Tan.”

“You may be dismissed.” Heavenly General Tan ordered his horse to trot to the tents that his soldiers had prepared. He had no interest to talk for a long time with General Ruan. The two of them have completely different personality and didn’t actually fit with each other that well.

If not because of the order this time, it was estimated that the two of them will never want to cooperate together.

But now that they were to fight together, cooperation will be necessary. …

<Long Qian Xing’s side>

“You’re saying that Heavenly General Tan is here?” Long Qian Xing arched his eyebrows when he heard the report.

“Yes, General Xing. There’s no mistake about the flag.” The soldier bowed down.

Nan Hua was by Long Qian Xing’s side and listened to the soldier’s report. It seemed that the situation was not very good for them.

Heavenly General Tan alone brought more than 100,000 soldiers with him. Coupled with the two generals who came with him, the total number of soldiers under Shi Long Kingdom was already far overwhelming their side.

Shi Long Kingdom seemed to want to use their number advantage again.

“Did they bring anything else?”

“They brought the chariots.”

“That one?” Long Qian Xing’s expression was a bit dignified when he thought about the chariots. It was one of the carriage for the cavalry that had been modified with several sharp weapons on the wheels and various other parts to cause massive damage to their opponents.

When they were ready to fight against Shi Long Kingdom, they had also to be prepared to fight against these weapons that Shi Long Kingdom was proud of.

Long Qian Xing had thought about replicating the chariots, but then he realized that the soldiers needed to retrained. Also, the materials for the best wood carriage was from the forest in Shi Long Kingdom because it was the hardest and most stable.

There were not many good war carriages in Fei Yang Kingdom.

In the end, he gave up and just thought about deal with it as he saw fit when these chariots came to his face. They came sooner than his expectation.

“Soldiers under General Can are mostly chariots cavalry.” Nan Hua had read the report and knew that this general liked to fight in the plains and when the opponent escaped to difficult terrains, he gave up chasing.

Even if the chariots were good weapons, they were only usable in plains and similar terrains. Forest, mountains, river, and so on would only damage the chariots. It was designed to eliminate the infantry with the most damage at the shortest period of time.

And their current terrain was actually very suitable for this cavalry.

So this put them in even more disadvantage.

“In that case, I can make use of the thing that I have prepared before.” Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. He thought about making chariots but since it was not available, he simply made the countermeasure.

“What did you make?” Nan Hua asked.

Long Qian Xing smiled mysteriously. “You will see tomorrow in the battle and I’m sure it’ll amaze you.”

Nan Hua passed a look at Long Qian Xing. Internally, she thought that the era she had come from also had various things. So if Long Qian Xing could think about it, it might have taken reference from there, which Nan Hua also recognize.

But she chose not to say anything to Long Qian Xing.

At least, not yet.

“You can deal with the cavalry?” Ming Shi Hong was more interested in another matter. When he heard that the number of soldiers from Shi Long Kingdom would nearly double their own soldiers, he had been hit hard.

The reinforcement from Shi Long Kingdom was a bit too much for him.

“It’s fine, we’ll just change the tactic tomorrow.” Nan Hua glanced at Ming Shi Hong. She tilted her head. “Leave the two new generals to me.”

“Ah? You want to fight against two generals?” Ye Shu Ken was stunned. Even one general seemed to be a bit difficult for him.

“Ye Shu Ken, you will try to deal with General Qiang tomorrow and Ming Shi Hong, you will deal with General Ruan.” Long Qian Xing thought about Heavenly General Tan. He had heard that this heavenly general inherited his father’s power and capability. Tomorrow, he wanted to see whether it was true or not. “I’ll deal with Heavenly General Tan.”

“But even if you want to step forward like that, the number of soldiers in their side is much more than ours.”

“That’s where the formation can play the role.” Long Qian Xing was not very worried.

He had been fighting against enemies who were stronger than him, had more soldiers than him, and so on for many years. When he was not a general yet, the number of soldiers under his lead was not very much, but he could still deal with some generals. It was just that he had to use some tactics that was quite difficult to implement.

But it was through those experiences that his confidence grew. He would not admit defeat so easily. It was just double the soldiers and not ten times. Because if it was ten times the number of his soldiers, then Long Qian Xing could only resort in insidious tactics while ‘running away.’

It would also become a very long and prolonged battle.

“What’s the plan?” Ming Shi Hong was interested and grinned. “I guessed that it wouldn’t be easy for you to think of the countermeasure.”

“They’re not the only one with reinforcement. Unfortunately, ours will still take some time.” Long Qian Xing also knew that the number of soldiers would not be as many as the reinforcement on Shi Long Kingdom’s side too.

After all, most of Fei Yang Kingdom’s soldiers were still concentrating on eliminating the remnants of Zhang Xu Kingdom and also the battle at the north with Fan Yi Kingdom. The rest were scattered.
